Hannah, a chartered manager degree apprentice studying towards her degree at Aston University, gives an overview of her typical week
I’m Hannah and I joined Microsoft as a chartered manager degree apprentice in September 2017. I work there full-time while studying towards my degree at Aston University. Here’s a sneak peek into a typical week of my life as a degree apprentice.
Monday
The office is usually busy on a Monday, I settle down and check my emails from the Friday before and start my to-do list.
A typical Monday will consist of lots of meetings. At the moment, most of them are focused on re-branding a training website for our partners, which I have been given responsibility to lead. This involves talking to web designers to create the best user experience and working with subject matter experts to get the right event information transferred over.
My day finishes at 16:30pm so I have enough time to travel home and prepare for our uni webinars that take place from 7pm to 8pm. The webinars give me an opportunity to collaborate with other students on the programme and apply the set reading to real life examples.
